Wear knee braces, cut down on injuries and make them mandatory to slow down all players equally.
That could be done. Goodness knows, we keep tweaking the equipment rules on football players. Personally, I don't think we've gone far enough. I think all major college and NFL players should be padded up to look like the Pillsbury Doughboy with immovable helmets anchored onto full body armor suits to prevent any head or neck rotation, and knees similarly encased.
That might be the end of football, but that's ok with me. It would be a safer game. YMMV.
I don't know if any consensus will emerge about mandatory knee braces for women soccer players. Yes, women suffer more ACL tears than men do, but most women still will never have one. I'd let it ride until a grassroots groundswell becomes significant. At this point, I don't think I've ever heard of a female player who has never suffered a knee injury wearing a brace just to be safe(r). If braces get to the point that this starts happening voluntarily, maybe ....
